Un poème sur l'espoir qu'inspire le coquelicot, qui s'épanouit là où la guerre a décimé tant d'humains. Ce poème est le point de départ d'une vaste campagne qui vise à aider les victimes de la guerre, tout en rappelant aux autres combien il a fallu de courage pour survivre à cette période troublée.

 

Moving text coupled with stunning illustrations by Governor General's Award-winning artist Ron Lightburn explain the symbolism behind the poppy.A bonus for teachers is the five-page spread all about the poem, "In Flanders Fields," Canada's wartime and peacekeeping endeavours, and the adoption of the poppy as our Remembrance Day emblem.

Original title:A Poppy Is to Remember
